Assignment XI - The Future of TV News

Web video and online storytelling have no real set schedule. They are released whenever they want, and we can watch these videos at our own pace. Some people are impatient, and we don't like it when a news program interrupts a tv sitcom.

There's not a huge future for cable in general, especially after streaming got popular. Although it only got popular because we could watch old TV shows that didn't get much VHS releases or did not have a DVD release at all. But that's another story. As for news, they are better instantaneous, and you don't have to worry about technical difficulties while live on TV.

Live streaming has gotten popular. Amateur video makers often Livestream themselves playing video games on YouTube and Twitch, while more professional companies stream live events, like E3, and Nintendo Directs. News companies could Livestream their reports like they would on TV.
